Thank you for the PA update. So far, my county is not listed. It is sparsely populated—100,000 people, mostly farmland and small towns, one medium-sized city.
I feel so bad for all families worldwide who have lost loved ones to this flu, especially those who have lost children.
Every time I read the very first post, about little Rubjit, I feel like crying.
Thanks for keeping us all informed.
